Annual Leave

[catherinesian]

25 days plus bank holidays. I wish it was more always running out

30 days, plus all bank holidays (although can work them for double time) and Time in Lieu can also be accrued.

25 plus bank holidays for DH and I and we both have to save for Xmas... mine is usually 3 but his is 4 as his company like to have Xmas eve off where as we work it but get to go home before lunch fully paid.

My old job ( was made redundant in Sept) i got 27 days plus 8 Bank holidays. At my new job its 20 days plus Bank holidays. 7 days suddenly becomes a long time

I started on 23 then increases by 1 per year up to 27. Also get an extra 2 per year if you don’t take any days sick. Best to weigh up the whole package really and whether you want to leave your current role. Good luck

Local government, 23 years service. 30 days plus 7 fixed public holidays and I buy a further 5 days a year.

We work flexi so can add 1.5 days per four week period but obviously need to have worked the hours.

OH private civil engineering firm gets 29 days, 10 of which he has to take at Christmas.

I currently get 10 Stat days and 25 days annual leave but have just been offered a new job with 29 days in total to include Stat days. Seems quite a drop from what I have now and just wondering if that’s the norm?
Thanks

Annual leave allowances will be more generous in public sector. For private sector, I think this is low, in fact it is only one day more than the legal minimum.

I have been in the private sector workforce for 28 years and have never come across such a low holiday entitlement as that in the UK, lowest I have seen is 24 days plus all bank holidays. I would not take the job, not just about the holidays, but I would be worried about a company that does not respect work life balance.

The legal requirement is 28 days including statutory holidays. In the US people would be amazed at such a generous leave entitlement.

Really miss my Civil Service days. 30 days, 8 bank holidays, an extra day at Christmas and Easter. We even had a day for the Queens birthday ! Plus 2.5 days a month on flexi.

33 days plus bank holidays.

I know. That is why I said OP’s 29 days including bank holidays is one day over the legal requirement.

I also know that having worked on three continents myself. However as we are in the UK I don’t think what is customary in other parts of the world is relevant.
